Quite enjoy the 1x
As for jumps in gearing, I kinda expect to change gear when I change gear. I’m not looking for a chauffeur driven ride.
On the downside I used to have an FSA/SRAM 1x drivetrain and if I was group riding, sometimes it would throw the chain. This was always at easy pace everyone else on regular road groupsets , on the flat. I think it was to do with cadence and the chain getting some kind of “frequency wobble” and just diving off the cogs.
Currently using a mixture of force and apex and its robust, it does the trick and cleans up nicely.
